Nice... looks very clean... reminds me of my old Silver VXII S pack.
I would get the rims and suspension first... then get the exhaust... as you don't want an exhaust turning heads and then seing a stock car...
Good luck with it mate...
I'll pop up some pix of mine to give you ideas...
EDIT:
Pictures found... those rims are 19 inch Vapors. I miss that car...
Haha... tried to upload a third image... JC told me it was already in a thread! Here is my old my ride thread.

Hope it helps with some idea or what not... any questions, I'll try to answer them as best I can...

cheers mate, that looks sweet
yeah ive been debating which to do first, but i think i prbs get the exhaust done now, as i have the cash to do, while rims plus supsension and tires is a bit excessive for me atm
i have just had new thoughts about looking into some vy gts 19's or maybe vx/vy gto 18's not sure yet, but dont wanna go to over the top...
my bro has got those vapors on his vt berlina, but in shadow chrome.. they r good looking rim![]()
What about some VZ R8 rims? They are a faiyl attractive looking rim.
Anyway... good luck with the exhaust mate...
You will have to throw up an audio clip once you have it done...
yeah they do look good, ill just wait til i get up to wheelking and have a look at which sets look the best on there...
i will get a clip when i get it done![]()
oh jester, btw wat suspension did u have on urs? and how much roughly did it cost?
cheers. summerz
I had King springs all round and Pedders big bore shocks on the back.
SL fonts, SSSL rears. the Springs cost me $250 but i had then put in so all up it was 350. and the shocks where 300 for the pair and I did them myself.
ahh kk, sweet as.. im prbs gunna go sl in the front then prbs only ssl in the back... just dependin on wat it looks like with wateva size rims i decide to go with...
Yeah... good idea with the SSL... it will still look tough as but be more practical...
Mind you I didn't have many issues with speed bumps or what not... just if I wanted to drive some people somewhere.. the needed spinal replacement surgery... SSL will look good once it settles in.
Good luck wit it mate...
cheers jester, yeah i dont wanna go too low coz my bro had so many problems from his suspension sagging therefore leading to his rears scrubbing.. and not being able to take any passengers.. so im gunna try aviod that...
and yeah round ringwood, there are a few speedhumps which r fairly annoyin atm...
does anyone here have any suggestions for rims that i should get, preferably black with a polished lip and are either 19's or 20's...
cheers in advance
